Hi group. Is anyone planning on going to the Nashville Quilt Show in August? http://www.aqsshows.com/show/nash/nashville.cfm I wasn't able to get into Paducah so I thought about going to this one. It's close enough to me that I could just drive over for just 1 day to check out the quilts but...

There was someone asking about a quilting cruise earlier in the week. I've just been notified that our very own Carol Doak will be on one from 23-30 January 2005 - The Quilt Pro Second Annual Cruise. Along with Alice Wilhoit and Sharon Hultgren. NAYY just extremely jealous that I can't go! I...

I finally decided to sew together DH's quilt, and what do I discover??? I cut the triangles and the squares different sizes!!!!! So now I'm going to make him a green and black checkerboard instead of a green and white windmill pattern!!!! How I managed to cut the triangles smaller, I have NO idea!...

Anyone catch the segment on NewsNight with Aaron Brown about the HUG quilt made for a woman whose husband was killed in Iraq? It was *wonderful! A guild in NJ made it for her from some of her husband's clothes. It looked terrific but, more important, she said she wrapped herself in it every evening...

Hello all....I posted this a few days ago but I haven't seen it on here yet. I went to the 25th Annual Schoolhouse Quilters Quilt Show in Cumberland MD on June 19th. The quilts were fabulous and I and my DH had a great time. If you would like to see pictures, here's the link to my...

No, my grandson is not here yet, his due date is 7/27 but the family pool says he will be an August baby since the 9th moon is July 31 and she surely has to go thru 9 moons. Anyway, she closed on the sale of her house today in Baltimore and made a nice penny after only 4 years there. She will...

Well, I will be off to camp watch-a-patcher later in July, and while looking down the isle that sells containers at Joann's Etc, I came across a portfolio type carrier made by ArtBin, it was canvas, and is called ArtBin Mat & Ruler Tote , it holds the large 6 X24 ruler as well as places for...

Hi Guys, I am going to be visiting my DSis and her family in Austin, TX the end of July. She doesn't sew or quilt so she is not up on where the local fabric shops would be. Can someone point me in towards some good shops, please? I have been to Austin several times before but this will be the...

To all my fellow Canadians on the group, Happy Canada Day! Here on the west coast we have a lovely sunny warm day. In fact we're having a bit of a heat wave early this year. So, pick your favourite cool beverage, find yourself a shady cool corner and have some fun quilting or reading a quilt...

Kyle Thompson wrote in uk.comp.sys.mac: I had a great idea last night, I thought I'd get a bedspread and embroider on it all the names of people I've ever made a tent with... Sadly no-one I was with got the joke! (If you're not familiar with recent British culture and/or the contemporary art...

My church just started a Prayers & Squares Ministries. http://prayerquilt.tripod.com/prayerquilt/index.html The idea is that lap-size quilt tops are made, basted, and ties placed in them. People come by, say a prayer for the recipient, and tie a knot. We meet once a month, some work on tops,...

I was looking through my material, and from some previous project, I have a big piece of white material and a big piece of black material. I thought it might make a neat looking thing to use those in quilt with paper pieced square in a square blocks, half having the innernost square in white,...

I am now the proud owner of the 5 book "trilogy" of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy all in one book (much cheaper this way). Barnes & Noble even had the book on the summer reading table which I discovered "after" I had searched through the sci fi/fantasy section. By the time I got to the...

Here is the information that I just received. Praise God that she was found safely!! Larisa I just learned that they found Heidi alive about 5 minutes ago! A hang-glider found her a couple of miles from camp in a swampy area. They sent in a 4-wheeler to get her. She is being evaluated at...

Ladies, when I need to know ANYTHING I know to come here. There was a discussion quite a while back on quilting shows. I have Dish, and get Simply Quilts. However, there were other shows mentioned and one was on the Family Network, in the afternoons. Well, they finally delivered the second dish...

I will be visiting the big Island and Kauai soon. Are there any "must see" quilt shops, or are there "any" quilt shops? I looked at a web site for shops on those islands and came up fairly empty. Any help would be appreciated. Nancy

I have guestbook on my webspace provided by Comcast. I set this page up over two years ago when the service was through @home. Since I went to a hosting service, I have not updated this site in a very long time, but my new site is linked to it since I have many of my quilting projects...
